Lethargic Pococurantism

Sitting in class.

Starring at a window.

Outside is a brown tree in a closed yard.

The sun hits it from its tilted angle high above.

On one side stands a bench. 

There are walls on both.

It's noon.

I Can't Stop

I can't stop when I'm out partying

with my friends on a late night at a bar.

The music pumps and my head is twirling

around the club as I shine like a star.

I can't stop as I drink another beer

and thus fill my tank up with some more joy.

I sling some shots with no traces of fear

for what will soon happen to this convoy.

I can't stop as I pop another smoke

and lit it up so that fog can soothe me.

My pack is running low and so I hope

That my energetic mood stays groovy.

I can't stop when told by my family

who refuse to see that I can't stop me.

Batman Gets Coffee

Batman Gets Coffee

I noticed something when I saw 'The Killing Joke',

something I thought was silly and caused me to choke.

In a scene of the movie, Batman meets Batgirl on a cold night,

she seems a bit moody after having been in a fight.

So to cheer her up, Batman brought her something to drink,

coffee in a cup, it appears to be, I think.

This part made me laugh out loud:

did Batman stop by Starbucks on this night out?

While the cup has no label, it still seems to be from a shop,

the type of shop where coffee is sold.

So was he on his way able to make a quick stop,

and get Batgirl some coffee, to deal with the cold?

This creates a funny picture, I hope you concur:

of Batman standing in line at Starbucks as a regular costumer.

And Starbucks has a feature that is very well known

and has been adopted by other shops as a milestone.

Wether Starbucks or Baresso – it is all the same:

when getting coffee to go, they ask for your name.

So when a clerk grabbed a pen, asked the question, ready to give the cup it's brand,

did he stoically then – with a dead-pan expression – answer by stating: “I'm Batman”?

Your Villain

Your Villain

Unlike you, I don't belong to the majority,

I walk by my own pace and do not require a leader.

I've faced the truth: I am the minority,

so when you see my face, you best be my cheerleader.

Unlike you, I am free and have all the space I need,

nothing stands in my way - I have no limits.

And when I'm through, I'll let you know of my succeed,

as I will tell you all day – so listen, dimwits!

Since I'm free of care, the world is my diamond rock,

morality is pure banality – it's dirt beneath my boot.

Your objections fill the air, but I just simply shrug,

this sounds like pure brutality and you may see me as a brute.

I belittle hope, I slap your face, and laugh when you cry,

Your dad from a rope, your mom in a fireplace: I am the bad guy!

But unlike you, I face challenges on my own:

no one tells me to stop when I'm ready to set sail.

As you already knew: I fight these battles alone,

it ends in a single chop and stands as another fail.

Because unlike you, I may never complete a goal;

no one tells me to focus as I have cast them astray.

Others I bid adieu or swallowed up whole:

nothing but locust blocking my way.

And those I loved who had a warm place in my heart

slapped my hand before I could force theirs.

I stand shoved with no counterpart

and my rock is a wasteland, soiled with tears.

wether they are mine or from some others' eye

you have no reason to whine: I am a bad guy.

But I digress: this may be as it should,

me who try and you who complete.

It may just be a guess, but if it's any good:

accept and realize you sow what you reap.

And I confess – to you – that failures have worth,

they teach you what you lack and how you can improve.

Unlike success which may dominate your Earth,

such turn you into a hack who refuse to move.

If you understand this then I'm sure you'll do fine

and you won't forget because I'll be here.

I don't require a kiss or any redesign

and if my words made you upset, then blame Shakespeare.

So when you see me, or when you hear me, and if this is our goodbye:

know that I'm carefree, but never wealthy and think: at least I'm not that guy!
